RCC graduate returns to serve at West Point Middle School

Georgiana Lee will tell you that she knew what she wanted to do with her career but was not sure how to get there. After two years at Rappahannock Community College, the Middlesex County native found her path and is back home.

“I am more than excited to be coming home,” said Lee, who will soon begin at West Point Middle School as a counselor. “[Home] is definitely a place of comfort and peace, and a place where I have a lot of support from my old professors, family, and my teachers from high, middle and elementary school.”

Lee’s journey from Middlesex to West Point might look like about a 15-minute drive, but it turns out that this trip took many years and hundreds of miles.

She started her journey as a graduate from Middlesex High School. She then entered Rappahannock Community College. She says that as a first-in-her-family college student there was an adjustment period. Luckily for her, Lee had a team at RCC on her side every step of the way.
